Decades ago, an associate who was a professional "futurist," pointed out that clearly, when people (generally white people) invent a future, the future is white, the way they would prefer that the present be. The present world is racist and misogynist, and the amount of hatred that people can demonstrate over a world of imagination that features blacks and women would be laughable, if it weren't so darn scary. Think back just a couple of years ago to the reaction over the female "Ghostbusters." "Bitches don't chase ghosts."
